From Pack Mule to Powerhouse ✨: Unleash Your Inner Delegation Warrior!
Plus: Martinis on the sidelines?

Let’s face it, raising tiny humans is a wild ride. In my work as a founder of Pickup Sports, a company that helps kids, and in my most important role as “mom,” I come across important and fun stories on parenting, health, kids, and behavior. Every Friday, I’ll be dropping a dose of laid-back parenting humor and helpful tips straight to your inbox. Think of it as your weekly pep talk with a side of giggles.
Feeling Like a To-Do List Pack Mule? Ditch the Burden & Delegate!
This week I participated in the Delegation Workshop for Working Moms with my mom (and tech startup founder) friends Tamara Lucas of MyPanda and Erica Tuggle from Cookonnect. We tackled the superpower of delegation and how it can free up your precious time. Here are 2 key takeaways:
#1 😩 Feeling like a one-woman show? Delegation struggles are real! Mom guilt, perfectionism, control issues, and even financial worries can hold us back. Remember, the value of your free time might just outweigh the cost of getting some help!
#2 🧠 Take control with a "brain dump"! Write down EVERYTHING you need to do. Then, unleash the power of prioritization: Do It Now for quick tasks, Defer It for important but non-urgent things, Delete It for long-neglected tasks (maybe they're not that important!), and finally, Delegate It! Free yourself by leveraging your support system to tackle the tasks that drain your time and energy.
🤣 This mom gets real about travel sports eating into adult time and I feel seen!
Who else wants martinis on the sidelines?
